ABSTRACT
The human being is not only the being by whom negatites are disclosed in the world. He is also the one who can take negative attitudes with respect to himself. The kinds of behavior that can be ranked under this heading are too diverse, people risk retaining only the abstract form of them. It is best to choose and to examine one determined attitude that is essential to human reality and that is such that consciousness instead of directing its negation outward turns it toward itself. This attitude, it seems as bad faith. Frequently this is identified with falsehood. People say indifferently of a person that he shows signs of bad faith or that he lies to himself. Bad faith then has in appearance the structure of falsehood. Psychoanalysis has not gained anything for people since in order to overcome bad faith, it has established between the unconscious and consciousness an autonomous consciousness in bad faith.
